Baba Comes to the Rescue of The Weak

 

There are innumerable helpless human beings, in this world who are unable

to compete with others who happen to be much more stronger-physically or

socially. They generally find that whatever they may try to do, they won't

meet with success against such forces. In our day to day affairs, we come

across instances where many a bright but poor students are ignored by their

class teachers in favour of mediocres who are powerful, physically weaker,

law abiding and God-fearing persons have many a time to pocket many insults

simply because they lack power to counteract.

 

What should such persons do ? To whom to look to for relief? The answer is

very simple - a complete faith in Lord Shri Sai Baba "Jis Ka Koi Naheen

Uskey Main Sai Baba" is not simply a slogan-it is a universal truth. If we

care to look around us, we shall come across innumerable examples. During 38

years of my service, I have felt this supernatural force of Baba's kindly

coming to rescue of His devotees quite unexpectedly. For example, in the

matter of transfers from one place to another, when the resourceful

officials managed to get stations of their choice, a helpless and poor

friend of mine was virtually thrown out to a most unpopular station which,

however, proved to be a real boon to him to the great surprise of one and

all. A colleague of mine whose only fault had been straightforwardness and

honest work, was falsely implicated in a serious vigilance case which would

have resulted in the loss of employment as he, unfortunately was unable to

build up a single favourable evidence. He simply depended on prayers to Baba

with whose benign favour, he could establish his innocense and came out

fully exonerated of all charges. My son, after doing his M. Sc. appeared at

a competitive examination. Nobody thought of his success because of the

alleged favouritism and vested interest in the administrative setup. The

only backing which my son had was of Baba with whose generosity he got it to

the astonishment of one and all. A dear friend of mine left for his heavenly

abode leaving behind him his wife and two young daughters to look after

themselves. The elder daughter had to search some suitable job for the

family to make both ends meet; but everywhere she was unsuccessful on

account of reasons best known to the employers only; Disgusted she left all

the hopes to ever get any job. She was not even a devotee of Shri Sai Baba.

Yet one day, she fell at His pious feet in a temple. With tears in her eyes,

she begged Him to help her. Within the next few days, she received,

unexpectedly, a letter from a private Ltd. Firm (before whom she had

unsuccessfully already appeared for interview long back) requesting her to

meet the sole proprietor at her earliest. The sole proprietor turned out to

be a staunch devotee of Sai Baba who during the meeting always addressed her

as "beti" and was so much moved with her plight that he immediately

appointed her in his firm against many other more competent and resourceful

candidates. It was thus proved beyond doubt that Baba had himself managed to

keep the post vacant for her only.

 

 

I recollect an incident which involved me quite sometime back when I had to

beg Baba for something at the spur of the moment; but after my request was

granted, I felt so sorry that I couldn't help blaming Him for His

indiscriminate action. I was new to a particular station where, somehow I

fell in the clutches of a local evil person through nay sheer simplicity. He

was a source of great nuisance to me and had made my life awful. Once, when

I was sitting in my house, he suddenly appeared and showed me some evidence

he had cooked up to get me involved and threatened me for dire consequences

if I did not accept his ill-conceived plans. On my refusal to oblige him, he

went away uttering vulgar language. I prayed to the Almighty Baba rather

agitatingly as to why he could not check the devil and teach him a lesson.

Soon after, I learnt that his only son, about 10 years old, while flying

kite fell down from the roof of his house and had been admitted to the

hospital in a precarious condition. I could not help crying before Baba

apologizing that I had not desired Him to take such a drastic action.

Anyway, these are the ways of merciful but strict Baba, the God Almighty,

Later, among others I also visited the hospital to see the boy where the

same person, the father of the boy, embraced me weeping bitterly and taking

a vow to give up wickedness once for all. With Whose instructions, under

Whose orders ?
